That was certainly my first thought when we saw the vessel. Lying at a very shallow angle to the shore, consistent with an error in the course adjustment at the Salen dog-leg and the lookout(s) dozing off.... That or a failure in the steering mechanism. Not a catastrophe, fortunately, whatever the exact cause.Nick wrote:.
There a couple of posts on ForArgyll that appear to be by members of the crew, clearly suggesting fatigue as the probably cause.
